Why this web log?

I did not really intend to open a web log. There are already millions. Who ever is going to read it? - Well there is me.
So why am I doing it?
It it all started when this week, CoffeeCup, whose software I like, introduced a Flash Blogger to their range. I tried it out, prepared to be impressed. It was easy to use, but had only basic functions and was troublesome to save and upload. It was also going to cost. I remembered that blogs were done here by my brother's sons and so I looked here and was impressed.
So I thought why not. At least I get to view my own petty notes and have sounding board for my views, no matter how inconsequential they are.
